[MrKristephan]

This is perfect this the 1st song I ever dance to in a New York Night Club,,,,,STUDIO 54 ! thanks for letting me remember the good times !

peace.

[Fullmetaldroogie]

First heard this track spun by Tony Humphries, he mixed it into a hot 97 house session at 4 a.m back in 1992 and I was blown away! has to be the best Disco track ever created in my opinion.

[TheNUMSCO]

[2tonsolid]

[555light]

@FredinandBardamu A movie done well, would be great.Sylvester had many facets.

Search for this in youtube -> Unsung (Documentary) - Sylvester There is a show on tvone about unsug artist. The featured Sylvester in season 3.

Growing up in NYC during 70's...The Clubs were the best and when this song came on everyone went wild!!! I just love hearing this song in my Zune. While walking the dogs you just gotta stop and boogie for a moment in hopes that no one looks at you funny.

[FredinandBardamu]

Luv the Sylvester video!....perfect for this.....

Sylvester was a genius.....I am not ashamed to say I wept when she died

When in Boston she used to hang at this club called "The Haymarket"...the queens went wild! Most young folk don't know of her. Which is a shame

It's clear you know what's up! whoever you are this killed me....thank you...

[555light]

@FredinandBardamu I wish I could have found better quality video of Sylvester. I'm glad you enjoyed the Vid. ;)

[bobbiejomariehorton]

@FredinandBardamu i love sylvester too... she was amazing. wish i had a chnce to meet her. whenever my day is too long or too hard and i don't have the energy to go on.... i turn to sylvester's music and all is better.

I did'nt realise that this tune had a moral issue. Loved it from the moment I heard it...Long live 70s/80s disco

[DietAcid]

August Darnell is so influential to me. The lyrics are pure social realism. The godfather of mutant disco.

[Wrightwriteright]

So many fond memories brought back from a year of my prime: 1979. This was one disco hit that I preferred not to get out on the disco dance floor to: it was difficult to dance to, but a classic to listen to. It's a '70s parable that still has so much meaning today. We really haven't advanced as a society since the late '70s in regard to the many social ills that this disco tune had the valor to address.

[emansf]

Hot damn! This song makes me wet!

[jfk71589]

the soundtrack to summer of sam has this song on it. it was a film by spike lee. i searched for more than 10 years for this song on cd, finally it was used in that movie and i could purchase it, thank you spike lee!

[555light]

One of the great ones. A killer!

[mayangod1isback]

at 2:40 minutes there is a couple dancing DISCO to their best. I love it.....!

[EmotionRadio]

Do you happen to have the Radio version. It was a rare version where the lyrics were changed from "Somewhere far away, with no blacks, no jews & no gays" to "Somewhere far away, where only upper class people stay".

[555light]

@EmotionRadio I have not heard the alternative lyrics

[ogunquitpasture]

@EmotionRadio

I have been searching for the clean version for about a year now....can't find it anywhere. This song has a great beat for fitness class (if you speed it up), but can't/won't play the orignal version. I'll keep looking...has to be somewhere!

[555light]

@ogunquitpasture the soundtrack to the Spike Lee Movie summer of sam has this song on it.

[LoquendoCantu1]

Where I can download this song!!!

[555light]

@LoquendoCantu1 It's hard to find this song to download.There are  vinyl 12 records on ebay and amazon and it may be on some disco compilations, but i have not found it yet

[Rlotpir1972]
